Manami was silent as she listened to Tsukuyomi's explanations. Her expression was stiff, revealing nothing, but the studious girl's mind was reeling from the revelations. How? How could they be on the moon?! There was too much that was impossible about this... but the little girl before her was so serious in her words, and the current situation was already ludicrous enough... this was just utterly insane.

Mana couldn't help but tense slightly when Keita raised the possibility of this girl being the originator of that stupid app. She wanted to dismiss it immediately, but with everything that had happened in the last few minutes, she wasn't sure what to think. Although Haruko did point out a logical counter-argument. Manami straightened, eyes fixed to the screen with a tight-lipped frown.

"...We're to stop it?" Manami muttered, "...Forgive me, Tsukuyomi-chan... er... Kami-sama? But all of us here are, well," she gave the group another quick glance, "...No more than mere young adults, some of us still receiving education. I cannot see why we would be of any more use to you than trained professionals in this situation."

Chie chuckled pleasantly at Megumi's questions, planting the head of her axe on the ground, with the shaft towering above Chie's maximum height. With the air of someone discussing typical club activities, the delinquent responded, "lunch money day's tomorrow, Yukazu-chan~ AS for easy battle points..."

Chie tilted her head, deep in thought. Certainly, there were plenty of sources of 'easy' points... those points were just a pittance at this point. Even if her lower-ranked club members were to consistently defeat higher-ranked students, the gain would be relatively small and short-lived anyway. At this point, she'd need to seriously consider fighting or absorbing other clubs to make any substantial gains.

As a model delinquent, Chie would need to find the most under-handed method to defeat them all, correct?

During her musings, something very unexpected happened: A student actually spoke to her.

Chie glanced at the white-haired boy with wonder, taken-aback by his bold approach. It was rare for anyone to speak to her so fearlessly during school hours these days. Actually, come to think of it... that mop and bucket, the white hair... wasn't this person...

...

...

...

"...Ah, right," Chie momentarily released her axe to tap a fist into her open palm in realisation, and casually returned to holding the weapon before gravity could claim it, "Kazuya Kazama, right? Hello~" she greeted him after he introduced himself. Probably one of the weakest students to grace this school, if his win/loss ratio was any indication.

Such a person wanted to become a delinquent, huh? Well, there was only one answer to such a ridiculous question.

"Sure~" Chie nodded happily, "you'll need to start at the bottom, but as long as you can follow our rules, you'll be allowed to customise your own uniform before too long! How exciting..."

Chie turned her gaze towards Megumi, continuing, "this is Yukazu Megumi, she'll be your senpai for a bit~ Yukazu-chan, please make sure he settles into the club, okay? And remember, no bullying the newbie until the 48-hour grace period is over~ Ah, and of course..."

Suddenly adopting an exaggerated scowl, Chie once more rounded on her new recruit, speaking in a forced, deep voice that seemed more like a parody of stereotypical trouble-makers than an actual delinquent, "Ya gotta learn to act tough if ya wanna be taken seriously, ya got me?"
The high-schoolers features melted back into the usual radiant smile, completely unashamed of how silly she must have sounded. Such was the power of Yamamoto Chie.

Our Daily Lives have Become a Battlefield: A Battle School RP

Normally, when you saw a cute girl with a radiant, malice-free smile bright enough to lift your very soul from crushing darkness, said smile was not met with recoils of fear and dread. Usually, someone with such a demeanour would be cheerfully greeted by her peers, or perhaps even openly admired by smitten bystanders.

As it turned out, carrying a six-foot tall axe over your shoulder as if it weighed less than a feather was a great tool of intimidation.

Yamada Chie, a girl with the kindest smile you could ever imagine, patrolled the grounds with a cheerful hum, revelling in how totally obvious her delinquency was.

The head of the Decadent Failures etc. Club was currently exercising her influence to the other students, as she tended to do during lunch. Part of her role as a delinquent was to make it obvious she was 'looking for trouble', and an unfortunate student was likely to be bullied a little for some spare battle points. Or lunch money. Or whatever they had in their pocket. It could be a candy wrapper for all Chie cared, as long as it was something she could steal in the name of delinquency!

She came to a stop in the grounds, looking around with a cheerful expression. There was a transfer student that had made a bit of a name for herself, right? Hopefully she was around somewhere. It was part of Chie's duty to remind transfer students who the 'top dog' was in school, right? Better to do that sooner than later. Wouldn't want the newbies to embarrass themselves by doing something that would anger her club members.

"...Actually, wouldn't it make sense to let them make the mistake in the first place?"

As Chie pondered this conundrum, she spotted some familiar faces from her club; Megumi being the most notable. Unlike the generic-faced students that made up the majority of her club members, Megumi was unique. Must've been the mysticism angle she seemed to have going?
The leader of the school's undesirables walked towards the table at a casual pace, practically unnoticeable if one were to somehow ignore the axe.

"Hiii~" Chie greeted her club members like a good friend, "Oohh, a game? Who's winning?"

Manami had not immediately noticed anything had changed, still waiting for Keita's reply to her nugget of wisdom when he started look around with a confused look on his face. Wondering if he had noticed something amiss, she glanced around the store as well, noting with some incredulity that they were, in fact, no longer in the store at all. Curious.

What?! What the what?! Manami's alarmed thoughts blared through her mind, as she spun on the spot, as if searching for a backdrop indicating they had merely stepped off a studio set or something. But... how could you walk from the setting of a store to the inside of an elevator - one filled with several others, at that - with no visual cues? Hell, she was standing perfectly still!

Manami was on guard, dropping the basket at her feet as she took in the others. She quickly realised that many of the faces were familiar. She saw them occasionally at school, right? And they all looked equally lost and perturbed. So they were all in the same boat, huh...?

The elevator opened up, revealing something... distressingly familiar inside.That overly-blue room, the TV screens showing a strange, disturbing city... and a little girl.

Tsukuyomi? Manami tilted her head slightly. That was... certainly an uncommon name to have. Her clothing was stylised, but recognisable as a miko outfit (Manami had to gulp down the urge to scold the girl for needlessly modifying her uniform in such a manner), so maybe it was a weird tradition her family had? All first-borns were named after Tsukuyomi or something?

She stepped forward to address the girl, leaning down slightly. Manami was, as probably expected, not exactly wondrous with kids but she certainly had to try, right?
"...Hello, Tsukuyomi-chan, I'm Yamada Manami. Just call me Manami, okay?" she offered a small, if somewhat worried smile, "please ignore my colleagues' rudeness. They're just surprised. Er... you called this a 'hollow space', right?"

@RolePlayerRoxas
She just might actually, I think I'll do just that. It is quite clearly the best club after all xD

@Ryougu

And comes with the added benefit of not having to deal with Chie. Clearly win/win for everyone. Except anyone who's not a delinquent.

Delinquency Within

• Name: Yamamoto Chie
• Age: 17
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: The face of delinquency. Fear all 5'2" of her terrifying stature.
• Personality: Surprisingly quirky, as it turns out. Chie's appearance would bring to mind a kind, cheerful girl that offers nothing but support and warmth... and to an extent, that's true. Outside of school, that is the very being you would come across: A warm, supporting, almost motherly figure that is never without a smile or good word to say, even about complete strangers.
  
  She just also happens to have strange beliefs about school life. The most relevant opinion being “every school needs a formidable trouble-maker, right?” and... well, she ended up becoming a delinquent. So she plays the part to the best of her ability: Skipping classes, intimidating students, bossing fellow delinquents around... she can be surprisingly effective in her role, but sometimes her motherly traits shine through, protecting her fellow delinquents as if they were her real siblings. She even sometimes gives teachers advance warning of her truancy. How nice.
  
  She can also be a tad ditzy sometimes, seemingly missing obvious sarcasm or noting a highly mundane detail in a very unusual situation. She may also come across as highly unaware of potential an opponent may face... but what if that's all an act to seem more harmless than she really is?
  
  ...That's a serious question, it's really hard to tell with Chie!
• Backstory: There isn't much to note of Chie before entering Shiroyama. She had been a well-behaved student that achieved fairly good grades throughout her school years. However, Chie had an odd idea about her high school: It didn't represent the delinquents very well, did it? A disorganised bunch of grumpy kids, lead by a weakling? How were they supposed to present any sort of interesting obstacle to the Student Council?
  
  In a bold move shocking just about everyone that knew her, Chie offered her criticisms to the former 'toughest delinquent on campus', was challenged to a fight, and effortlessly thrashed him. This lead to her being crowned the new leader of the deliqnuents, and to Chie adopting this role with the goal of making delinquents a powerful force to be reckoned with, and even managed to structure the unruly group as a club to better take advantage of the school's point system.
• Inherent Engine Skill: War God's Strength - A misleadingly-titled skill that seems to grant Chie unparalleled physical strength to rival the very gods themselves! ...In actuality, it merely allows her to wield her AED as if it were weightless.
• Active Engine Device: War God's Axe - A rather massive weapon that stands just over six-feet tall, this unwieldly monstrosity can be attributed to much of Chie's reputation. In her hands, it has superior reach, power and coolness points. The one solace opponents can take is that it doesn't really do anything beyond being massive. And painful.
• Skills: Chie is fairly skilled at many domestic tasks; cooking, cleaning and babysitting youngsters being her most notable skills.
• Rank: 37th
• Club: Shiroyama's Decadent Failures and Disruptive Elements Club: The head of this particular club, formed mainly to take advantage of club benefits. Activities include, but are not limited to: developing 'tough guy' talk, developing lunch-money-shakedown techniques, how to modify one's school uniform into something badass, and theatrics.

@GingerBoi123 No problems from me, looks fine.

@Ryougu Just for the sake of clarification, is she performing actual flight, or is it just hovering a set distance from the ground? Other than that, looks fine. She should just join Chie's club instead.

@TheFake Looks good to me too.

@Rin Accepted, under the condition that Chie gets to the pet the fox every day.

@MonkeyBusiness I don't think there's any problem on my end. Accepted from me.

And a quick reminder of the rankings: They aren't an absolute measure of one's strength, so there's no need to aggregate around an average to 'keep up'. It's mainly a measure of accumulating points after all, so keep that in mind, especially if your character is unlikely to get into many fights.

Strange Gospel: An Urban Fantasy RP

I genuinely haven't.

I have a rom of the PSP version of Persona 3 installed, but I haven't played it yet since I want to use my PS4 controller and I don't know how to hook that to my PC right now. ^^;

@VitaVitaAR

Spoilers: P3P is the best Persona ever.

disclaimer

Having only played P3P, the PS2 version of P4, and the first few dungeons of P1, my opinion is very biased. But in my defence, Minako is Best Protag

-Rolls out of bed-

Co-GM guy reporting in. Will hopefully have my character up after work.
